8800 gts rev2 plan on stepping up to 9 series if its released in the time frame.
Monitor:
not really sure, something 22in or bigger. im going to look local.
So, i gotta few questions. would it be beneficial to run 2 250gb hard drives in raid as apposed to the one 500gb? i don know much about raid, so that might be a completely stupid thing to say. im also not really sure about the mobo, so any help with that would be great too. id like to keep the total under 2100 for the whole thing. i plan on ordering pretty much right when the gts rev 2 is released... unless there is a good reason to wait.
